Zankyou Sanka - Demon Slayer S2 OP [Piano] / Aimer

[@Animenzzz]

Thank you for your support in 2021! I hope you enjoyed my anime piano arrangements this year and had a lot of fun listening to my KZbin Channel! Zankyou Sanka is really a perfect piece to serve as a grand finale for my musical journey this year: it's flashy, a little bit jazzy and it's basically a forte fortissimo firework from start until finish. Once again, thank you for listening! And see you next year again! (I will post a more detailed end-of-the-year summary on my KZbin Community page soon!) - Animenz

[@Rui.Pandromeda]

名前からしても、2021年の残響=余韻としてピッタリですね！

[@Sayuriii_0]

This year was a banger from your channel a lot of interesting and cool songs to listen to. Definitely can't wait for more next year!

[@surainihashim]

Hope you end this year with a bang.Hope this coming year will become much greater for you,looking forward to seeing it.👍🏼

[@richmondang4030]

Animenz absolutely killed this arrangement -- FLAMBOYANTLY, of course!

[@Animenzzz]

Sometimes, l̶e̶s̶s̶ more is more. Literally, hahaha

[@mikkoticus8818]

​@@Animenzzz More is more - this reminds me of a certain redhead sword. Do you have any tips for an aspiring piano player? I've been playing for 2, almost 3 years, and I feel like I have reached a soft limit. What do you recommend I do?

[@alexchau3022]

@@Animenzzz sometimes, creating cannot be too complicated but beautiful things inside, it would lower the original feelings of the song sometimes like a powerful chorus doesn't need a complicated melody but it still impress u. Maybe u would think it's good but actually, i think not just me, many audiences of ur channel may prefer ur own special and beautiful cover with a gorgeous melody. Honestly, I have compared u and many others piano players .Until now, I still think u can stay at the top in my list because of ur flexible hand. I want this world has a gorgeous piano player just like Uzui Tengen!

This is definitely my favourite OP of the year, Aimer has outdone herself! Her voice feels very powerful in this OP and the rythm en timbre is very fitting for kimetsu no yaiba. Amazing how you always deliver these incredible covers! Keep up the good work!

[@hakami1426]

I agree. I fell in love with her voice when I heard her sing in Zankyou no Terror's ED

Her?

Animenz is the Piano Hashira cuz of how he attacks and arranges these pieces perfectly!

Underrated comment 😭😭😭😭

[@G10Crowned]

I have to say it. . . I started getting into the Piano this summer, learning how to play and listening to many beautiful pieces from classical to anime, and I have to say that you Animenz were the first Pianist I really got into and you will forever be my favorite, thanks for the inspirational pieces, they reached me and motivated me to start playing and I hope to do the same to others in the future. Thank You Animenz 🙏

[@thelostlaundrysocks1818]

I was literally thinking about how this would sound if Animenz played it yesterday. I was watching Fonzi’s arrangement, but I can’t wait to hear yours!

[@mimo89000]

Haha same

[@billyduong606]

2:03 this part proves how skillful you are, Animenz. I totally fall in love with the whole performance, especially this part.

[@Cyclically]

What a great masterpiece to end this year, I'm looking forward to Animenz's journey to 2022 and beyond. Hoping to see another legendary arrangement that rivals the likes of My Dearest 10th Ann. & Everlasting Guilty Crown that once again raises the bar for anime piano arrangements in the near future.

I was definitely expecting this one! And as ALWAYS, ANIMENZ DELIVERS. Hopefully this will land Animenz some much more deserved views since this is ongoing/seasonal.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🎄Thanks for blessing us with another amazing arrangement. I love how every little detail has this polyphonic feel to it, the added right-hand-notes at for example 0:58 and 1:09 really glued the sections together. Love that part!

[@akhilio7471]

i love how this man uses the left hand to include the percussive aspect of the song right here its genuinely heart melting 0:16

[@cambrialayton5344]

Mr. Animenz you are literally the coolest person ever; this arrangement is PHENOMENAL. When you started playing the second verse I got one of those full-body shudders of "this is so freaking cool that my mortal brain is struggling to put it into coherent thoughts" and for the rest of the piece I was just in awe of the sophistication of your arrangement. I wish I could do what you're doing! I'll keep practicing so I can try and be on your level someday, no matter how far away that day may be. ;)

[@michael0803aa]

That long groups of arpeggio is insane.... Also a big thank to the detailed description! Being able to know all those details while listening to the cover really makes it a lot more joyful experience!!

And another absolute banger to bring the year to an end!!! In hindsight this year of AniPiano was as great as expected! Every new arrangement of yours just had me absolutely hyped, you covered some of my all time favorite songs some of wich have a special meaning to me so I really couldn't have asked for more! Well, I hope next year will be just as epic a year for AniPiano! Keep up the great work and, even tho I'm usually not one to say these kind of things in advance, happy new year to everybody reading this^^
